Conan (11 p.m. Monday, TNT) -- Earlier this year, following his departure from The Tonight Show after four lackluster months as host, Conan O'Brien started sending out tweets about doing a new show with a squirrel.

Pastport Cuba -- The Search For Nicolita (9 p.m. Sunday, SiTV) -- When swimsuit designer Nicole Di Rocco wanted to visit Cuba in search of a model for her new line of 1950s-style swimwear, she ran into unexpected opposition -- from her parents. Cuban exiles, they thought the trip amounted to an endorsement of Fidel Castro. Follow the family feud in this documentary.

Days of our Lives (1 p.m. Monday, NBC) -- After Guiding Light died at 57 and As The World Turns at 54, Days of our Liveshas to be considered a senior citizen as it turns 45.
